The tipl-libraries submodule folder will be empty unless you perform a

git clone --recursive

if you forget this step you can still fix it by performing

git submodule update --init

The project is meant to be built in a Java first then Scala manner with the exception of a few files. Primarily ScalaPlugins.java which is used for loading the Plugins written in Scala into the SezPoz-based TIPLPluginManager. A simple space entered into this file and save will cause it to recompile after the scala code has been compiled resolving all errors.

The TIPL code itself is separated from Spark but involves the spark code in a number of key areas.

• SGEJob sets up the path and includes reference to the jumbo jar file in the spark/lib folder, many tasks unrelated to Spark will not work if this is missing (to prevent library duplication)
